Two groups with similar goals but different points of view took up their protest signs Saturday in Houston.

Occupy Houston volunteers continued to gather in Eleaonor Tinsley Park for a third day of “occupation” Saturday in support of the anti-corporate corruption movement Occupy Wall Street.

At the same time, Houston Free Thinkers gathered to voice opposition to the Federal Reserve, among other issues.

“The Houston Free Thinkers was created to educate and, give a voice to the people of Houston regarding issues, and crimes that the government, the mainstream media and corporations seek to suppress.”

According to its website, the group’s key issues include “the Federal Reserve scam; health dangers such as fluoride, aspartame, and genetically modified organisms; 9/11 truth; the growing police state, and erosion of civil liberties.”
